Penn Jillette was the announcer for a long time, up until at least the late 90's. I'm not really sure when he stopped doing it though. Teller might've been announcing with him, but you'd never know...would you? :)
OMG your right there is nothing more 90s then that wilson commercial. It has everything. That girl in the tutu, that generic 90s cop, the flashing words.
Hahah wow Patton Oswalt looks so young in the comedy central line up commercial. Man these commercials make me yearn for the 90s so much. If only Time Machines were real eh?
That Magnavox has features on it that should come standard on most TVs today, but don't... Sound normalization?! I want that so bad on my TV. I hate having movies be at 1/3rd the volume of commercials, especially on public channels.
Little did *then failing* Comedy Central know that in 3 short years, one show would save their asses, all because of 4 young boys, well 3 after the show hehe. Man I missed it when Penn did the voice overs.
Caveat emptor! After watching all of the 1970's volumes in this series (there are 63 so far), the first 72 from the 80's, and now the first 9 from the 90's, I found that there is an impostor posting videos with these EXACT same titles on RUclips. When I googled "90's Commercials Vol. 10" the fake one came up, and I had to go through a different route to get to this one. I was brave enough to post a comment on the impostor's page, not asking him to remove his videos, but politely asking him to please consider changing the titles.
I had several videos from that user taken down several months ago since he was actually reposting my videos at one point. I don't think there's anything I can really do if he's just giving them similar titles. I would just use the playlists on my channel to watch these. Unfortunately, youtube is full of leeches like this that just repost videos from other channels or try to trick people into watching their crap.
I remember watching that Rodman/Santa commercial (1994?) and asking for those shoes. They cost 2x-3x more than any shoe I had ever owned before but they were the best shoes EVER. I wish I had me some Air Ups right now. Bball shoes suck now. They fall apart after a couple weeks.
MST3K!!!!! I never had Comedy Central till they moved the show to Sci-Fi so I missed those cool Turkey Day marathons they had!! :( And those "Here @ Comedy Central" promos from Penn himself! "Running a video with the Internet going! How do you do it at the same time???" X_X dies And the attack of the 1994 standard definition TV FTW!!!!! Now if flat screen LCDs could do the same thing....
9 years from your comment , I’m watching this on my 58inch smart tv , typing this comment on my 9inch iPad and monitoring my 5.8 inch iPhone X, a little progress lol ..
So, since no one has asked...what's your problem with the word "Central"? You're right about that Wilson ad. That could easily have been the opening credit sequence to any of the "Friends" rip-offs that would start appearing about 9 months after this originally aired. Just how high were the ad execs who came up with the Putterman ads, and how drunk were the Duracell people when they signed off on them? So that is what Adam West did before being elected mayor of Quahog!
Whoever directed the Duracell commercials might have also directed the video for Primus's song "Winona's Big Brown Beaver"... either that or Les Claypool liked the look of the costumes
Mmmm, I loved me some "Absolutely Fabulous." Follow it up with some "Father Ted," "League of Gentlemen" & "Blackadder." But I'm surprised to hear Penn Jillette's voice in commercials about british comedy & MST3K.
I have a question. Does anyone know what the long-haired guy's name is in the Comedy Central line-up commercial? I know the other guy is Patton Oswalt.
I'm sure you've either found the answer or long-forgotten this question by now, but I'll answer anyway for future comment readers (at the very least) - Blaine Capatch was the guy with Patton in the line-up commercial.
"I can't believe you're running a video, and you've got the internet going here, and a fax!" - And that was truly HUGE in 1994. The 90's were awesome, but I never wanna go back.
0:00 and 6:18--I thought those Duracell commercials were kind of freaky back in the day too (I liked the ones from rival Energizer with the pink bunny that "keeps going and going and going" much better), but now I actually think they're pretty cool. 8:48--Speaking of freaky, this woman sounds like she's taking a combination of helium and laughing gas!
●I remember that Duracell commercial! ●Those cars were so ugly in the early nineties... ●OMG a young semi skinny Patton Oswalt! ●My current remote has less features than that one!
4:36 I would've loved to have seen a followup to this with The Big Show being one of Santa's elves and lifting Rodman up off HIS feet and making him apologize to Santa for acting like a thug and bullying an old man.. Sorry. I guess this commercial was intended to be all in good fun but it comes off as being kind of sad. And mean. The message seems to imply that if you want something, sneakers or whatever, you go out and threaten/bully nice,gentle old people who've never done you any harm.

These commercials aired during a thanksgiving MST3K marathon.
It really helps to read the video descriptions. They're kind of there for a reason.
Ugh! Those duracell commercials! Friggin creepy! I really love that Wilson's commercial. That was def a 90s classic.
Man, that's the first time I saw freaky duracell commercial. But it's an 90s classic as you put it.
WHOA!!! is that Mr. Lawrence with Patton Oswalt?? I love him!! I miss the old Comedy central bumps and the lineups!! *sigh* ahh, the 90s... my era. :)
Hahah wow Patton Oswalt looks so young in the comedy central line up commercial. Man these commercials make me yearn for the 90s so much. If only Time Machines were real eh?
It's no wonder he was in the revival!
80's Commercials jogged some good memories but these 90's Commercials take it to the next level. Its as if it was yesterday.
about the most 90s thing ever is anything w/ dennis rodman
That Magnavox has features on it that should come standard on most TVs today, but don't...
Sound normalization?! I want that so bad on my TV. I hate having movies be at 1/3rd the volume of commercials, especially on public channels.
It's Penn Jillette, from Penn & Teller
Doggone, I miss these days of Comedy Central. There was something great about these days, even if they did run Mannequin 2 every other week.
@MeInTX It's to make it harder for Viacom to find this video and flag it for copyright violation, which has happened in the past.
Ah Magnavox big screens; back when they weighed like 80 lbs. xD
They need to show MST3K marathons again on TV, I hate having to pay out the ass for DVD's and watching episodes on RUclips that are cut into parts.
@80sCommercialVault I was just about to ask if that was Penn Jillette's voice. You can tell his voice so easily.
I’d always used to play the durrasell logo on my keyboard. Tell mom, mommy, I need new batteries, *logo plays* the copper top.
OS/2! Multitasking! OMG! CONCEPTS THAT ARE NEW!
The first duracell ad reminds me of the Wynona's Big Brown Beaver music video by Primus.
I miss when Penn did the voiceovers for comedy Central..
the little boy in the Sony commercial was seemingly in every commercial of the early 90s and then played one of the children in Picket Fences
Sitting in 2020 wanting that remote finder and smart sound on my tv.
Little did *then failing* Comedy Central know that in 3 short years, one show would save their asses, all because of 4 young boys, well 3 after the show hehe.
Man I missed it when Penn did the voice overs.
Mystery Science Theater...I love you!!!!!
lol look at those 90's tvs

Username? I can get those taken down
@@80sCommercialVault It was posted by Aaron Paulhamus.

Those Duracell sorta creeped me out when I was little. Still does abit.
Those Duracell commercials were so fucking unnerving, lol.
Because they were too busy savaging "Zombie Nightmare" which also features Adam West and is far worse than "Batman: The Movie" could ever hope to be.
What's a couch gonna do with milk!?

Absolutely Fabulous OH MY GOD I used to watch that.
MST3K!!!!! I never had Comedy Central till they moved the show to Sci-Fi so I missed those cool Turkey Day marathons they had!! :( And those "Here @ Comedy Central" promos from Penn himself!
"Running a video with the Internet going! How do you do it at the same time???" X_X dies

Those Duracell ads gave me nightmares as a kid.
right from the desktop?!?!
"I can't believe you running a video, and you've got the internet going here and a fax." But how is that possible¿!?
Absolutely Fabulous...wow I use to watch that
The first time I saw that duracell commercial, I had nightmares!!!
Where's our MST3K Turkey Day Marathon? So unfair.
They have been doing one every year for a couple years now.
So basically, we went from watching TV on a big 19", 25", 27" etc. screen to a little 2" screen? hm... I don't call that progress.
9 years from your comment , I’m watching this on my 58inch smart tv , typing this comment on my 9inch iPad and monitoring my 5.8 inch iPhone X, a little progress lol ..
OMG!! I remember the milk one very well. It was my favorite!
who is the narrator for the comedy central commercials. it sounds like Penn Jillette
man i remember those duracell ads... sooo freaky
lol @ the fact that if they redid that Nissan commercial today, the Altima would probably be the one sliding all over the place.
It's Penn Jilette!
So, since no one has asked...what's your problem with the word "Central"?
You're right about that Wilson ad. That could easily have been the opening credit sequence to any of the "Friends" rip-offs that would start appearing about 9 months after this originally aired.

MST3K, oh how I could've lived in the 90s like you lucky kiddos! I would've laughed my butt off if I watched it when it was cool..
yeah...there's something very creepy about those plastic robotic people in those duracell commercials.
the last one omg.
@pannoni1 I have a commercial for Prodigy from 1989 in 80's Vol.10.
those duracell robots ppl use to scare the hell out of me ;o those ppl are like I can record onto my desktop :O wow "
Mmmm, I loved me some "Absolutely Fabulous." Follow it up with some "Father Ted," "League of Gentlemen" & "Blackadder." But I'm surprised to hear Penn Jillette's voice in commercials about british comedy & MST3K.
He looks similar, but I'm not sure it's him.
wow i almost forgot all about those duracell characters. they were a bit cheesy i still think the bunny was by far the best character they used
I have a question.
Does anyone know what the long-haired guy's name is in the Comedy Central line-up commercial? I know the other guy is Patton Oswalt.
I'm sure you've either found the answer or long-forgotten this question by now, but I'll answer anyway for future comment readers (at the very least) - Blaine Capatch was the guy with Patton in the line-up commercial.
Wow... i used to have the nightlight remote.
i have to lol at that, but at myself too for i didn't knew the internet existed till early 96 when my dad signed us up for A.O.HELL
yeah, this was my sophomore year in HS....damn im old
"I can't believe you're running a video, and you've got the internet going here, and a fax!" - And that was truly HUGE in 1994. The 90's were awesome, but I never wanna go back.
I miss when Comedy Central was actually good :c
Man those duracell commercials with the weird plastic people were awsome. Just don't make em like they used to.
What were those Duracel "people" made of? It couldn't be claymation.
wow I was 20 days old
My wife had a black Altima exactly like that one back then, it was cool , we gotta a lot of compliments ..
Yeah. Comedy Central is a huge joke now. Thanks to South Park, the station has not yet bit the dust...
Is it me or were they playing the MST3K theme song at 2:52 O_o
And I
Those Duracell ads are so fuckin creepy!
I'm a fan, not a fanatic. This tape comes from my cousin, who got copies of MST3K tapes from a friend of his Dads.
0:00 and 6:18--I thought those Duracell commercials were kind of freaky back in the day too (I liked the ones from rival Energizer with the pink bunny that "keeps going and going and going" much better), but now I actually think they're pretty cool.
8:48--Speaking of freaky, this woman sounds like she's taking a combination of helium and laughing gas!
Gotta get noticed.
GUESS NOT!!! man did my friend Jason used to hate that commercial.
Gold, really.
Wow, I forgot just how much better looking Rodman was before drug and alcohol addiction.
●I remember that Duracell commercial!
●Those cars were so ugly in the early nineties...
●OMG a young semi skinny Patton Oswalt!
●My current remote has less features than that one!
aw, I have a tape from this exact turkey day too
LOL Nissan Altima for 750 down, 250 for 3 years...WOW
Plastic costumes and a lot of makeup?
Whatever happened to Smart Sound?
Why 2 remotes for one television... hmn....
Nikon commercial made me sad
Why don't those REMOTES EXIST NOW!!!
4:36 I would've loved to have seen a followup to this with The Big Show being one of Santa's elves and lifting Rodman up off HIS feet and making him apologize to Santa for acting like a thug and bullying an old man..
